Vida Violet, formerly Lushka Flowers, is a florist on Vigor Brown Street in Napier South. The florist works on instinct and with the seasons, rather than a fixed set of arrangements. Her website describes a quieter style of floral design, where form, texture and movement carry the piece, and she also makes larger installations for events and personal projects, including arrangements gathered from a client's own garden. She trained in London and worked with Wild at Heart before starting her own business.
One Google reviewer calls the work the best in the bay and says the florist is talented. Within 1 km there are two other florists on Open Locally.

A visit suits anyone looking for seasonal flowers in a looser, more natural style, or for a larger piece for an event.
